Are there any of these sets still available? I might pick up a set anyways.

I read the whole thread, I want to see more pics! 70% of the pics don't work now.

Thanks
James

well mine are still pretty decent, rocking the sensatracs still and the fronts are pretty much toast as of january maybe? wicked stiff and handles awesome. ended up settling abit more in the front but the rear is pretty high still. got some carerra adjustables but have yet to put em in. i think the sensatracs hung in pretty good tho for how they were suposed to not last a month :P i'd take pics but my car is looking pretty ragged this season and needs a good cleaning etc. will try to repost my drop or lack of drop comparison pics

holy old thread back from the dead again. anyone else out there notice that their coils practically compress thre entire way to the bottom? i have about 1.5 of travel before bottoming out. didnt notice till replacing my front clip and driving the car around the shop with no fenders. i really wish i had purchased a set of konis before they went disco.

i just put front springs in my omni off my van, with about 4 coils cut off them, and then bolted them into the strut so they dont jump out!! it lowerd the front 4", and in the back i modded some steering dampers and rigged them into struts with the stock springs. lowerd the back 4". 4" all the way around =)
